Описание
With an engaging presentation, new examples, new resources, and a contemporary writing style throughout, you'll find "The Origins and Development of the English Language" to be interesting and easy to comprehend. Fascinating historical information - from The Old English Period through the present - help you gain an understanding of words and meanings, the sounds of words, the creation of new words from old, and foreign elements in the English language. This sixth edition of the classic written by Thomas Pyles almost forty-five years ago is better than ever. Algeo preserves the outline, emphasis, and aims of the respected original (as all earlier editions have) yet has been revised to make it easier to read and to be more helpful to students of all levels of preparation.
